An HVAC installation project in the heart of an urban Montreal condo
At AirGreen , we were recently approached for a project in a condo located in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , a vibrant neighborhood of Montreal where indoor comfort and energy efficiency are priorities for residents. The installation involved a Zephyr wall-mounted heat pump , a choice that combines performance, discreet design, and a perfect fit for the realities of urban housing.
The indoor unit was positioned above a door leading to the balcony, ensuring optimal distribution of fresh and warm air into the main room while respecting the space constraints specific to condos. This type of configuration requires careful planning and precise execution, two aspects that define the AirGreen method.
The advantages of the Zephyr wall-mounted heat pump
Over the years, the Zephyr brand has established itself as a reliable and affordable option for homeowners in Greater Montreal. Its distinctive features include:
-
Remarkable energy efficiency , reducing electricity consumption year-round.
-
Stable performance down to -25°C , ensuring continuous comfort, even during harsh winters.
-
Quiet operation , ideal for condos and apartments where acoustics are an important issue.
-
A clean and modern design , integrating perfectly into contemporary environments like those of Rosemont.
Challenges encountered and solutions applied
Every HVAC installation project has its own unique challenges. In this case, our team faced several challenges:
-
Space constraint : The unit had to be installed above a door frame, below a ceiling light fixture. We adjusted the wall mounts to meet safety clearances and ensure optimal airflow.
-
Refrigerant pipe route : a discreet hole was made behind the unit, then the pipes were carefully camouflaged using white capping to preserve the aesthetics of the room.
-
Drainage management : the installation was designed using gravity, taking advantage of the proximity to the exterior to avoid the addition of a condensate pump.
Thanks to these technical choices, we have delivered an installation that combines reliability and elegance.
Comfort and savings for occupants
From the moment it was turned on, the occupants noticed a significant improvement in thermal comfort. The Zephyr unit not only efficiently cools hot summer days, but also heats the main room during the winter, reducing dependence on traditional heating systems.
In addition, the device is eligible for certain Quebec government subsidies , notably under the LogisVert and Rénoclimat programs, thanks to its energy performance. AirGreen support always includes complete assistance in these procedures, so that our customers maximize their savings.
